An important match for Arsenal is set to take place at the Emirates Stadium on 18 May. Mikel Arteta’s side cannot afford to drop points in the title race.
Arsenal
The club from the English capital leads the league. Arsenal must win to maintain their lead over Manchester City.
They have won four of their last five matches. It is worth noting that the Londoners rarely concede goals. It is highly likely that the team will keep a clean sheet this time too.
The club has not won since February. Even if the team had shown positive recent results, it would be pointless to favour them in this match.
Mikel Merino, Jurrien Timber, Ben White and Riccardo Calafiori will not play for the Gunners due to injury.
Burnley
Burnley have already been relegated, so it’s likely to be a one-sided affair. The ‘Burgundy’ side will take to the pitch without any psychological pressure and may afford to take risks, but they are still a class below.
The team’s defence is very weak. In terms of goals conceded, they are one of the worst in the league. We can expect goals to be scored against the “Burgundy” side.
Jordan Bayer and Josh Cullen will not feature for the visitors due to injury.
Arsenal vs Burnley Prediction
Arsenal have won the majority of their head-to-head encounters (17 out of 23). The probability of a win can be estimated at 65–85%. The home side will dominate in every aspect.
The visitors are unlikely to pose any threat to the favourites in attack. Motivation will also play a significant role.
Main bet: Home win (P1)
Additional bet: Over 2.5 goals
Predicted score: 3–0
